FWP:

Gyan Chand's text has buud-o-nabuud
, which seems a far less probable reading than Raza's, since it
sacrifices the excellent wordplay; as always, I follow the latter.

An enchantment [:tilism] is a
magic world, a narrative concept developed to the highest possible
degree in the Dastan of Amir Hamzah. An enchanted
world in which no one could speak or hear, or did speak or hear, would
be a fine venue for a hero to explore. But the speaker feels that
either he's trapped in a cemetery, or he's an 'alien' or 'destitute'--
no matter what the explanation, he's the one who's alone and miserable.

Needless to say, without the wordplay of 'city of
the silent' for 'cemetery', this verse wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
While we're mentioning body parts, 'head to head' is a great touch, in
a verse based on speech and hearing.

Compare Mir's more spectacularly radical use of the idea of a :tilism : M{1314,9}.
